[Xen-users] RHEL5/RHEL4.5 domu on RHEL5 dom0 issues

[Claris Castillo <ccastil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I have performed a very simple binary  installation of Xen 3.1  on RHEL
5
More specifically I did a groupinstall=base of RHEL5 on  a file and create
the virtual
machine using hte config file below:

Note that  I used the Dom0 kernel to boot a RHEL 5 DomU as indicated
in one previous post in the mailing list.

Config file-----------------
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen"
ramdisk="/boot/initrd-2.6-xen.img"
memory =256
name = "vm1"
dhcp="dhcp"
vcpus = 1
vif = [ '' ]
disk = [ 'file:/vdisks/base.img,sda1,w','file:/vdisks/swap.img,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
extra = "3"
--------------------------------

I have ran into a couple of issues. Please see below:

1- I copied /lib/modules/* from Dom0 to DomU. Is there any other way to do
this with RHEL5?
I suppose that the libraries get installed if I use a RHEL5-xenU-x. rpm
which is not available at the moment.
Is this correct?

2- Related to the previous one---
rtc: IRQ 8 is not free.
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting rtc
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-xen_3.1.0/kernel/drivers/char/rtc.ko): Input/output
error
I tried insmod and it did not work

3-  I keep getting the warning on /lib/tls when booting up domU even though
I have
already moved the library to /lib/tls.disabled

Any advice (specially on #1)

4-I also   want to craete RHEL4u4 domUs but run into dependency issues when
triying to install
the rpm from xensource:
[root@local]# rpm -ivh kernel-xenU-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.xs0.4.0.263.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        kernel < 2.6.12 conflicts with initscripts-8.45.14.EL-1.i386
        kernel < 2.6.17 conflicts with hal-0.5.8.1-19.el5.i386
        kernel < 2.6.13 conflicts with kudzu-1.2.57.1.13-1.i386.
        kernel < 2.6.17 conflicts with autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.42.i386

Any recipe to do this?
